Kramer Still Stands by his "Not a Racist" Remark

Well, now that it is over and said, Seinfeld's "Kramer," Michael Richards, still believes he is not a racist and he doesn't understand why he said what he did at the LA nightclub, last week.

If you haven't heard the news, Richards was apparently "heckled," as he describes it, at his stand up show, by two black men in the audience. Once Richards noticed he couldn't get the men's attention, he throws out the "N" word and continues to use it, as he yells at the men, talking about lynching and swearing obscenities at them.

Richards has been on such shows as the Late Show with David Letterman, and even more recently, Reverend Jesse Jackson's "Keep Hope Alive" radio show on Sunday. He insists that he "loves black people" and that he has many friends that are "African American." Hmm, wonder how they reacted to their friend's lynching comments?

Richards told Jackson, on the show, that he has been noticing his estranged behavior and ties in that it has "nothing to do with black people." He says that the stand up routine is "a rough and tumble environment," and that he has "been noticing how aggressive (his) work had been getting."

However, Jackson didn't fall for Richard's confession. He tells him that there is a stronger feeling there and, most certainly, the anger is for blacks. "You used the word nigger, and then the lynching scene...have you been here before?"

While Richards continues to tell, not only Jackson or Letterman, but the world, that he has never felt hatred against blacks before, somehow it is difficult to believe, after hearing the words come straight from the horse's mouth.
